On Site Teacher Training from Center for Lit

Adam Andrews conducts one- and two-day teacher training seminars that focus on classic literature, reading comprehension and Socratic discussion techniques.  Designed for teachers at all levels K-12, our programs are especially useful for schools developing Great Books programs or seeking to emphasize a classical approach.

Teaching the Classics On-site Teacher Training -- Day 1

$1,200

A combination of lectures, guided discussions and demonstrations introduce context, style, structure (plot and conflict), the Center for Lit story chart, Socratic discussion techniques and the Center for Lit Socratic list.  Each teacher receives a 95-page teacher manual.  The school receives two copies of Teaching the Classics: A Socratic Method for Literary Education DVD set. The fee includes training for up to 15 teachers.  Additional teachers are welcome at $25 each.  Travel expenses are paid by the school.

Teaching the Classics On-site Teacher Training -- Day 2

$1,200

(prerequisite:  Teaching the Classics On-site Teacher Training -- Day 1)
A review and expansion of the topics covered in Day 1 of the seminar is followed by additional training on structure (setting and characterization), thematic analysis, scope and sequence development, classroom implementation and teaching writing from literature.  Teachers should bring their manuals from Day 1.  Travel expenses are paid by the school.
